Wheat harvest in the Mighty Palouse

Took these piuctures from the parking lot of the La Quinta in Moscow, ID. I'd been hoping to get to watch some harvesting! Sat and watched as they worked this field. Just facinates me , the terrain they farm here in the Palouse. The pictures do not do justice to how steep the hillsides are.

Our son is in college at Moscow.Is that part of the Palouse?We hope to visit this fall.He hasnt told us much about the area.
 
Indeed it is. Moscow, home of the Idaho Vandals, is just 8 miles from Pullman, home of the Washington State U. Cougars. Moscow is at the eastern edge of what is considered "the Palouse" country- rolling hills, all wheat, no trees except in the draws. The pine forests start just east of Moscow, and transition into a different type of country.

I'll be in Moscow next weekend- my frat class got together last year for a reunion (45 years)- went to a Cougar game, stayed in Moscow because Pullman hotels are booked on game weekends for years in advance. Fine time had by all, so we're doing it again this year.
 
Thank you for those harvest pictures at Moscow. I spent a week at Moscow about 1958 with a uncle that lived there. It was around labor day and harvest was just finishing up. He got me out on several farmer friends of his. I got to run a JD 55 combine on those hillsides, That was really different for a farm kid from the midwest! No cab either,and that pipe rail looked kinda weak.
I also got to drive an International TD14 while plowing for a while. I still have great memories from that trip.
Delta , you will have a good time seeing how hillside farmig is done. It is a different world from flatland farming. clint
